In order to complete this work, I monitored both the growth and development rate of this plant, as well as the parameters that can influence these processes, I carried out work in the experimental field established for this purpose, as well as the interpretation of the results obtained for both fodder and biomass production for the purpose of forming biofuels. Within the institute I work at the plant breeding laboratory, and the main responsibilities are: responsibility for the certification of seeds from the upper links of perennial grasses and legumes that are obtained at GDRI-Brașov, preservation and care and propagation of existing biological material, creation of new varieties, processing of data obtained in experimental fields, as well as processing of meteorological data from ICDP Brașov. The scientific activity carried out within the institute during the 17 years, has resulted in the development and publication to date of a number of 38 papers, in the volumes of national and international scientific symposia, of which I am a co-author of 7 books. 2 varieties of perennial grasses were approved as co-author and 4 varieties as main author are in the testing period of year I and II, ISTIS Bucharest. Created varieties: 1. Phalaris arundinacea (grass) – Minier (2022) – co-author 2. Phleum pratense (timophyte) – Carpatica – co-author 3.
